Key Graphing Skills to remember:
1. Always label your axes with appropriate units.
2. Sketching a graph calls for an estimated line or curve while plotting a graph requires individual data
points AND a line or curve of best fit.
3. Provide a clear legend if multiple data sets are used to make your graph understandable.
4. Never include the origin as a data point unless it is provided as a data point.
5. Never connect the data points individually, but draw a single smooth line or curve of best fit
6. When calculating the slope of the best fit line you must use points from your line. You may only use
given data points IF your line of best fit goes directly through them.
